The geniuses at MIT's music hack day put their big, beautiful brains to work on things that really matter — creating a never-ending hellscape of "Call Me Maybe" (or even better, the Cookie Monster version). Any song that's in your heart — or, more importantly, on your computer — can be transformed into an infinite loop so that you can annoy yourself and everyone around you for hours to come.

For beat similarity we look at pitch, timbre, loudness, duration and the position of the beat within a bar. There's a nifty visualization that shows all the possible transitions that can occur at any beat.
